Is that because Italians are naturally dramatic so histrionics just appear normal to them 😂 I'm joking I'm joking before anyone jumps at me JUST A JOKE Although for real I think it would be interesting to see if there really is a higher prevalence of certain personality disorders in certain cultures over others. For example I wonder if places like Russia or Finland have a higher prevalence of schizoids but it just goes unnoticed because culturally smiling is less common compared to other cultures and those societies have alot of natural distance between people for example people are not expected to engage in pointless small talk

I used to have a friend like this. I didn’t see it at first then after awhile it became apparent to me that there was something...off about her. She would praise people that she barely knew and say how they are such a good person and so amazing and the person wouldn’t even know who she was. Or she’d greet me and hug and kiss me as if I was her long lost relative she hadn’t seen in years. She’d constantly tell me she loved me and I started to realize she was saying that because she wanted me to praise her the same way but it just didn’t seem natural or appropriate to me. She was beautiful but every time we would go out she would question if she looked good or if she looked fat to the point that I wondered if she was just fishing for compliments because it didn’t make sense otherwise. She would try to discuss “deep” topics and try to seem profound and sometimes if just let her talk until she’d stop and say “wait, what was I talking about?” Or else, when I wasn’t understanding her I’d ask her to explain and she just could not. Nothing she said made sense, it just seemed like a bunch of excerpts from self help books and inspirational quotes jumbled together to seem intelligent, profound, or interesting. When I discovered what HPD was, it all made sense.

I have a friend who I believe has this disorder. My problem is that she requires all my attention when we are together. I also find it exhausting to be at her level of heightened enthusiasm/drama to interact with her. I often get annoyed with myself after our phone conversations because everything revolves around her talking non-stop. I am only there to listen to her and give her validation. We've been friends for years but I wish I had a better sense of how to handle myself around her and not feel depleted.

Thank you for not destroying me by saying "Run to the hills away from these people" or other cruel things i heard in other vids made by life coaches. By the way, do they have long term medical studies like psychiatrists or psychologists have? or can anyone be a life coach by attending a short term course? Because some of their explanations and attitudes here on KZbin do not seem professional.

In regards to accepting responsibility for your personality disorder, the key for me was to let go of any moral judgements or shame while searching inside of me, no matter what. You can be sincerely apologetic to people you’ve wronged without hating yourself. And taking away judgement means anything and everything is safe to be explored, recovered, and healed. Get curious about everything you habitually think, say, do, and feel. It’s hard work but it won’t be like this forever. Good luck. You deserve a good life, and you can have it.

I recently was diagnosed with this. The doctor that did my evaluation said I show milder symptoms as well as on the autism spectrum in what would have been considered Asperger's. The doctor told me that it is likely that these issue would have been more pronounced had I not started a medication regimen about a year before testing. When I watch this video i6 see a lot of what people have been talking about in regards to me and this diagnosis. It also helped me understand my relationship dynamics much better. I'm very thankful to live in a time with such empathetic resources. I've been in talk therapy for many years and I think thats whats helped me avoid the worst of the worst. Now we have much clearer goals to work towards. We've settled on a DBT/CBT combo. It really does come down to those thought processes and working through the why (if any) and deciding on the best way to make adjustments. Just me experience with this disorder. Thanks Dr. Marks. Your videos help so much!

I've been diagnosed as histrionic and I never lacked punishment in my life. I believe histrionic personality disorder is caused by abuse in family, mostly from being ignored and emotional neglect. Histrionics seek out attention because they never had it by family. They seek attention because they don't know how to get their own needs met without someone else doing it for them. People just assume people who seek attention as spoiled. That is just lazy thinking by doctors because everytime someone doesn't understand someone they just label them as spoiled. also histrionics rarely go to therapy so this is also why little Is known about them. I have went to therapy a lot because I'm not only histrionic but I'm bipolar schizoaffective.

This is my first time hearing about this disorder. I have been trying to pinpoint what is off about a friend of mine. I narrowed it down to “dramatic.” Because everything, and I mean everything seems done in a dramatic or superficial way and it’s draining me to the point where I may just have to end the friendship entirely. So I looked up “dramatic personality disorder” and this is the first thing that came up. I look forward to looking deeper into the subject. This video was a great start. Thanks

Thanks for explaining this. 17 years ago, I think was diagnosed with this during a 5 minute visit at a military psychiatrist appointment in which I was seeking treatment for anxiety. I was accused of lying about anxiety and then ordered to fill out some strange multiple choice test that was full of silly questions. I didn't take the test seriously because I was angry about being accused of malingering, so I just bubbled in answers in a "Christmas tree" shape, dropped the clipboard on the receptionists desk, and went back to work. Since then, the diagnosis has randomly reappeared on my records, but quickly dismissed as a misdiagnosis, but nobody has ever explained to me what it was. Now I know for a fact I don't have this disorder, because I don't exhibit anything like you described, and am almost the opposite in every category you identified. Military psychiatry is a joke. And people wonder why the VA system is so overwhelmed.

I had a best friend for years. It was all drama all the time and the kind of drama where I have to find out what was wrong. Manipulated me over years. I told her once that I have the feeling that I have problems with my feelings. As in: I don’t feel anything if you tell me something about your life. She told me I was sick and should see a therapist. I finally saw somehow in a divine moment of clarity: there was nothing out of the ordinary with me. I just had enough of the drama and the manipulation. I cannot win this game and she is not valuing me as a person nor my wishes. In every conversation I can only loose. So: I walked away from it and cut all boundaries. I tell you what: it feels great and my life is now calm and beautiful.

Thank you for the information on this personality disorder. My best friend's daughter was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. After watching this, I believe she probably had some overlap with histrionic personality disorder as well. She was murdered by a serial killer; she trusted way too much way too soon. He was found guilty of her murder and two others, I hope he rots in hell. We never understood her very well. She was prone to hysterical tantrums, lavish displays of affection, on-again-off- again sexual relationships and emotions she seemed to turn on and off at will. We couldn't believe anyone could be so "over the top" without it being deliberately manipulative. Her illness will remain a puzzle her brokenhearted family will never be able to solve.

Oh my goodness that’s so sad. What a tragic ending. But yes the way you describe her sounds very histrionic. I think histrionic personality disorder is one we just don’t talk about very much.

Probably the best presentation on the subject I've seen (or read) so far. A few other problems w/HPD is that it's very difficult to convince one who suffers from it, that there is anything wrong, hence, getting them into therapy is extremely difficult. Another is that due to the attention seeking, they may be in a position to help someone, begin to do so, and then suddenly tell them to get out! And, of course she will blame the person she promised to help.

I appreciate your compassionate approach in explaining the behavioral traits of HPD. I was in a relationship with a woman that exhibited all 8 traits in glaring fashion! I never gave in to her seduction, it was not what I wanted, just a friend. Here rage at times started me on a journey of trying to discover why I was going through such turmoil, the love bombiing, and future faking threw me into a real tailspin. I still care deeply for this person, but had to get away. I pray for her to seek help because she is constantly going from relationship to relationship and she is hurting so much inside. But she tries to keep it coveted up. Thank you again. 🙏

I just "friendship broke up" with my friend of many year who I think definitely was histrionic and/or borderline. I realised after too long how I just was the introvert listener that she would never listen to and that would just be here to validate her and give her so, so much attention. She also litterally fell in love with every man she chatted with for more than a few days. And dressed flashily, always changed haircut and wore heavy make up. It broke my heart to go away, but her refusal to admit that she was hurtful to me and some other people was just too much.

I just had my best friend stay with me for two weeks. I always knew something was not right with her but now I know for sure. I might end the friendship, I'm not sure yet. I'm also the introvert listener. My friend puts her sexuality on display when we meet any males. She speaks super loud in my apartment or in public as if she wants my neighbours or others to hear her. She lies and exaggerates stories. Worst of all, she is delusional about men. She met one man recently and they spoke for an evening. She sent him a gift afterwards and travelled half way across the world to see him. I told her that he was not interested and her behaviour was unhealthy. The man ghosted her and said he was away when she went to his country. She treats me with little respect while praising people she barely knows. It's going to be a hard decision since we've been friends since childhood.

I know you wrote this a while ago oml do i relate.. I've always been very introverted and im on the opposite spectrum where sometimes i don't allow people to know me fully.. i had a freind that was soooo attention seeking she would call/text for every little thing daily to tell me what she was doing or needed advice. Everywhere we went she would talk over or people or insert herself in a convo she was not part of. She also felt every single man must be interested in her and tried to persue them in the oddest ways... i finally let go of her when i realized i had given so much of my ear to her that when i hit a really hard place she didn't even wanna hear about it. That was it for me. I feel so bad for her because after watching this video i don't think i realized how deep that behavior was rooted in trauma. But it's interesting that this type of person usually tends to try and get their fix off of their polar opposites.

I think that I have this personality disorder since I was 15, because I feel very uncomfortable each time I'm not the center of attention, I overacted many times crying in class with my classmates and more things, including post in ig big stories of myself to attract atention or have excessive sexuality behaviour with friends without second intentions (some of them was very confused for this) Nowadays, I'm 22 and I have problems with people the most of the symptoms daily. I'm annoyed because any therapist give me a diagnose and I believe I need it... my family normalized the situation a long time ago and they tried to help me sometimes with some of my behaviours but I didn't listen to them.

My coworker is diagnosed with histrionic, somatic-something (cant remember the name) and ADDH. Every day at work is super intense because she's intense and she often cries on my shoulder because she looks up to me, she says, (i'm 10 years older than her) and tells me a new made-up story every week. This week's made-up story is that she was raped some years ago and that she just recently remembered that memory. Her sister and father told me to just ignore what she says, but when she's crying I cant be mean to her. I try to calm her down, tell her to drink water, take a breath... Meanwhile I have a lot of work to do and I can't be wasting so much time listening to her fantasies and dramas while I try to work. They won't fire her because she's the daughter of a boss. She can't handle a stable job or routines, she skips work a lot and is a hipocondriac. I've been searching online for info on how to deal with this person in a kind way without getting too personally involved (a lot of coworkers treat her horribly), but there's almost no info out there on how to deal. I give her boundaries, but I'm forced to work with her on the same project for 8 hrs a day, and I can't escape her, so i'd like to learn how to deal, but i cant find much.

If developmental trauma has caused a personality disorder (aka certain ego defenses which were once needed and highly adaptive, but are now a source of pain) to develop, EMDR can be very helpful towards giving clients a choice over their reactions/defenses. In this trauma-focused framework, your root problem isn’t your personality disorder, but the unresolved trauma. EMDR is wonderful for allowing change in what was once thought of as rigid and permanent (aka personality disorders)!

I've scored highly in this on personality quizes. I relate to the symptoms but the one I find most hurtful is my perception of relationships. I get attached very quickly and like people so find it really hard when they don't show that energy back. I'm also told I'm very flirty and provocative and have been trying to work on it as that also gives people wrong impressions of me. Thank you for making these videos.

I work with one girl like this 5/7 of the symptoms. I know I'm no professional but I have literally never met anyone that acts so insecure but also comes off so arrogant. Such a paradox of a personality. She also thinks any guy who is nice or compliments her are madly in love with her. But never seems to have any relationships work out but it's always 100% her ex fault and she's the victim. Wants to be the center of attention.

They are also extremely vindictive towards women as they are in a competition for every man’s attention. They have no boundaries, all male friends she hangs with are usually friends with benefits. They can have a combination of Brad Pitt and Valentino and they would cheat with someone they aren’t even attracted to because it’s about the conquest and the feeling they get from the act. Then they wake up depressed and anxious until the bar or party at night and it’s time to go again. Obsessed with there appearance and sexuality, are highly suggestible, and can get caught in a lie and stare you in the eye and lie over and over again. These women play victim, martyr, hero. In relationships they may say “ I’m going to win.” They twist the truth to match their needs and lack any self awareness for their words and actions and the damage they cause to others. They are never responsible for their actions, absolutely abhor accountability and act like pre adolescent children. They especially like the attention from authority figures and will call the police or there flying monkeys to get back at their partner for not letting them have their way going as far as pressing bogus charges on them and causing them great damage. They use authority figures like errand boys and they are prone to substance abuse and they never apologize because it’s never their fault, even if everyone sees them do it. They will tell on themselves if you just listen and their actions never match their words. I just rejected an 8/8. They go a scorched earth and are like toddler throwing a tantrum but play with adult consequences for everyone involved with them. Go no contact and run as fast as you can. They are shady as F and will do anything to get that dopamine fix with sex, even though they are usually frigid to a large degree because they lack the ability for intimacy. They will invite the whole town into your bedroom if you ever are successful at making them achieve orgasm and will tell anyone that will listen that you are a sex freak. In short, they have driven partners who stay with them to a nervous breakdown through a systematic brainwashing and gaslighting. Learn to spot them. They are fun for about a week, are serial cheaters, and expect scorched earth when you bolt! There vengeance knows no bounds!☮️❤️

I feel like I have this. I maladaptively daydream a lot about being famous and inspirational to people and about what they would say at my funeral. I have in depth fantasies about people crying over my death and talking about what a wonderful person I was. I faked almost passing out at work one time to get the attention of a guy I had a crush on. During a zoom meetup with my theatre group when each of us read monologues I copied and pasted all of the compliments my fellow group members wrote in the chat and emailed them to myself. I read them over and over again. I write really long emotional facebook statuses that I look back on and cringe. I'm very sentimental at times and I want to cry and hug people and have big emotional moments when I notice others aren't that into it. I idolize certain celebrities and feel close intense connections to them without having ever met them. (not sure if that's a histrionic thing or something else) I play up my struggles in front of people (mostly on social media) because I like the attention and sympathy it gets me. It's like a drug. I sometimes maladaptively daydream about being a different version of myself in which other tragic things happen to me like the death of a loved one or having cancer so it makes me more interesting to other people. The only thing I don't identify with is being sexually promiscuous or provacative, but I think that's just because I'm asexual. A lot of this has gotten in the way of me being a person and having interests and passions and a full life. It's not a fun thing to admit about yourself

It's good that you have admitted that about yourself. It's not a shame or a fault to have a personality disorder. Cluster B are considered maladaptive because they often of not always come from a place of childhood abuse and negligence, and exist because of strong coping mechanisms people unconsciously put up to deal with their suffering. It's helpful to attend therapy, the most advised being DBT, so the causes can be more explored and possible trauma can be better processed, so you can start healing. As well as finding other ways to feel better that doesn't demand attention or praise, to help you break this habit. I think a lot of cluster B's issues comes from issues with self-worth and low self-esteem. I think being able to see there's indeedgood on yourself, and it needs no proof or validation to be there. And that you're not lacking in worth and qualities compared to anyone else. I'm not sure if people with HPD think like this, but I wonder if you fellows just doubt your value, and thus feel like you need other to say to to "prove" you have it, maybe? I'm just speculating. If it's the case, then I think the concept of self-compassion might be helpful for some. Basically treating yourself like you'd treat a dear friend. Because even if the people we find dear is obviously flawed like any human being is, they still deserve compassion and understanding, like any person does. So, you can see your own flaws and not think that you're inadequate for it. Lacking things is normal and natural part of human life, and you don't need to judge yourself or anyone for it. And you can also see the good in yourself and focus on it, without really ignoring your flaws, but viewing yourself as a whole and accept and care about yourself.

A friend of several years had became oddly possessive when I reconnected with an even older friend that I had lost touch with due to our life circumstances. I then noticed the other friend asking prying questions & making disparaging remarks about the person I'd reconnected with. She then began to, for lack of any better discription- play games to manipulate getting my attention . This quite frankly scared me, & to the degree it occurred was so off putting that I broke all ties with her. My husband agreed with my decision since he noticed how she was always copying/ imitating me. We believe she has histrionic traits. My first clue should have been years ago when she said , "You have maintained friendships throughout your life & I haven't. "

I’m particularly acquainted with the histrionics who aren’t doing the sexuality thing, being hypochondriac instead! Works a charm... always an over-anxious response to bodily experiences. Always needs someone to go with them to the hospital (because remember they can’t really be alone. That would defeat the purpose since they aren’t sick, they want attention and if they’ve chosen sympathy then their sickness must be ‘for’ an audience of some sort).

I started therapy and begin to realize it may be at the root of my dysthymia, which makes my life really hard. I’m glad to be on the journey to healing, and wish people would be more understanding to people wit HPD, at the end of the day, it’s people who deal with emotional pain.

I met a girl who has histrionic personality disorder, she loved to be the center of the attention and being the star of the gym class. What I found odd was that the people around her did not seem to see her game. For years, she revolved around my bf, until he cheated on me with her. She was crying for him, doing a lot of drama but cheating on him at the same time. She left him overnight to engage with his best friend. She seems to have many faces and adapts her personality according to others, she tells them what they want to hear to be loved like a thirsty dog.

Sorry to hear. I confused my wife’s behavior for narcissism, but it seems more like hpd. After a month of us dating, she loses her job at her cousin’s law office. Doesn’t have a job for months, gets another job at a domestic violence center through her mother. Loses that in less than a year. “Impressionistic” speech, I couldn’t understand how she’d reach some of her conclusions. Most of them were non sensical. Very manipulative. Had family over for a few weeks, six of us in the house, she asked everyone if they wanted tea, two said no, one she had to convince, she comes to our room and says,”do you want tea, everyone’s asking for it.” Would lie about simple things, for no reason. Wondered why our communication was off. Would never apologize for things. Would completely revise history of events or tell an event with a kernel of truth. Found out she cheated on me with people from several jobs that she’s had over the years. A complete waste of time and energy.

Please make more videos about this!! It is rare to find anyone who knows this stuff let alone respects someone who suffers from it. My whole life I was treated like I was some kind of menacing devious selfish whore -- while I NEVER slept with people, my behavior was just judged endlessly by people who misunderstood me. My husband recently told me it seems my need for constant attention is not because I'm just emotional or dissatisfied, but rather, the lack of good relationships ( like with my parents in childhood ) had affected me more subconsciously than I knew. Like, I always felt I was desperately trying to blend in, act "normal", try to chase after my goals, success... But in reality, I was sticking out, outrageously needy, miscommunicating and I felt like everything around me was lost in translation over my need for love. What I thought was common sense about healthy attention and relationships was not at all in reality. And I need to learn more about this, because it's an issue that can RUIN your reputation all because you are unaware of what you are making people around you feel. These behaviors truly feel normal. And all I can do it hide and hide and hide. But my hiding becomes OBVIOUS to people and then everyone is so confused by my actions. I'm not trying to spill too much. I just need more videos from this lady !!

When I say that I’m going home to work out she’s gonna do the same. When I say that I am purchasing an item or if she finds out that I have a certain item, she’s going to purchase it and five months later she still doesn’t have it. She wants my hairstyle but she gets her hair done every month and she still wears it in ponytail. She told me that her beautician always wanted her hair to be cut like mine. I’m training her for this job, I can tell her something but then she repeats it in a different way as if it was her thoughts , not mine. This is very different for me I am just trying to figure out how to handle it. I keep telling myself not to share much with her because if I do, she’ll say that she did the same thing and you get tired of hearing it and she repeats herself. I don’t know what to do I just ignore her.

I would say to keep her on an information diet for anything not work related and maintain / rotate a set of neutral responses that deter follow-up or just switch things back to her or the work topic at hand. Over the years I have come to the realization that not every question requires a response and I've come to practice being good with 'uncomfortable' silence or pauses while in person and on the phone. It's almost a game now. I'm finding that the older I get the less and less I care about what people think. Wish I was schooled to this decades ago. If you Google 'how not to answer a (personal) question', it'll bring up a lot of helpful scripts and methods. Also, the Ask A Manager Q&A blog and Captain Awkward sites are good too for work and interpersonal advice. The comments sections are great as well for extras. HTH.

You Are Leaders yes, there are more self-help guides than ever before. You would need a lot of commitment (as you would with therapy) to work on your goals and be truly honest with yourself. Personally, I think it would be helpful to have a therapist that specialises in this type of disorder. You'll need to implement the work done within the sessions on your own anyway. CBT works on the moment you are presently in, and helps you challenge your ways of thinking. It's typically short term therapy. Psychotherapy is longer term and will delve more into your past and see where the patterns started. It will give you a chance to bring yourself up to the present time, using tools to equip yourself for change. Realising you have a problem is the first step forward. The next is being committed to change/relearning. There is no harm in researching ways of working towards changing your behaviour, whilst you wait for therapy. There are many online resources that are easily accessible. A strong will and discipline to change is the most important factor of all. Best of health to you.

It's the same with addictions, nobody can make an addict want to change, it has to come from the person with the addiction. All you can really do is support the person by showing them self-help information and then it's down to them to accept they need help. This can be a long process, I know from my own life history and from helping others. It could also be that the person involved is ready to accept your advice/recognition. All the best 🙏🏻

Could you please explain Narcissism in a future video in the same format? It would be very interesting to learn why this behavior exist and to better understand individuals with this class b personality. Thank you for your time and consideration. Your videos are so educational and help me to connect with different people in my life. I try to accept everyone in my life but sometimes it feels hard to connect when others have certain personality disorders.

So I have a family member who has low spectrum BPD and he isn't erratic nor dramatic and he doesn't have narcissistic traits more than would be found in a "healthy individual". He is never histrionic. He is quiet, has stable relationships, has had stable intimate relationships and is compliant with therapy. He still has relationships with childhood friends!!! Attention scares him. He is an introvert and prefers quiet and small groups of friends. He is low- spectrum BPD. He is also in remission. He really practices CBT, DBT and mindfulness. He is controlling his emotions very well. I am so so so proud of him!!! 😘👏👍🎉🎇🎊🤗

I have this disorder and it makes it very hard for me to cope in everyday life. How easily I get brainwashed by society, how much I look for validation and acceptance in the world around me. I always say I am positive and I am always loud and fun around people but in real I am on medication trying to fight my depression and anxiety. I hurt people around me without an awareness that I am doing this. Sometimes it really feels like borderline. This is really hard but at least realising the problem it’s the first step. Thank you for this video. And to all whom might be dealing with people with this disorder please try to understand us. We really don’t want to hurt anyone.

I have a cousin with this behaviour - I've thought for years that she ( or more rightly the rest of us) suffer from her having this Histrionic personality disorder . A friend's ex wife also displays this . Interestingly both are nurses . When I think of someone with this disorder I use the character Elaine on Seinfeld or my afore mentioned cousin . Everyone immediately knows what type of behaviour I'm referring to . Thanks for the video - there seems to be little discussion of Histrionic behaviour as I think it isn't really regarded as being particularly serious as other Cluster B afflictions .

Yes I agree with you. It’s not talked about very much and I think you’re right about it being seen as not as serious. But as I mentioned to the end of the video they can really have some serious problems with relationships especially if it manifests as boredom, affairs, job changes and instability, loneliness from never connecting with someone etc.

@@watcherwlc53 That’s fascinating. 15 yrs ago my daughter in law was telling me about travelling with 3 women friends and the carrying on of one almost to the point of ruining the trip for the others. As she was explaining the friend’s behaviour I realized it sounded pretty similar to my cousin . I asked my DIL what this woman do ? Nurse was the answer . At that time I began wondering if there is something about the profession that attracts that personality type.

Dear Dr. Marks Thanks a lot for this helpful explanation. I have a coworker with 6 of the 8 symptoms you mentioned and I don't know how to deal with her. She gets very upset when someone gives me attention and then tries very hard to make me look like an idiot in front of that person. Obviously, you can't have a rational conversation with her, because in her eyes she never does anything wrong and starts blaming everyone else. Additionally, she starts creating dramas and spreading lies about me, whenever she feels I get more attention or praise than she does (even if it's not the case). I've tried ignoring her, but the more I ignore her, the more she tries to get my attention (theatrical/dramatic behaviour, tries to start a conversation with me etc.) The moment I do give her attention she starts being nasty again. It's a vicious cycle and I'm finding it increasingly hard to handle. I also can't talk to the boss, because the boss is completely enchanted by her and will lash out at anyone who dares criticize her. How can I deal with such a person in such an environment? I try to avoid her by making sure I'm not at the workplace when she's there, but that's not always possible.

In my country there is a “socialitè” that is like the Dr said: always dress way too sexy, she had a lots of relationships where when she met a man, in a few days she says he is a boyfriend and a few weeks later she will say they are planning the wedding.... and that’s when the guy run for his life 🏃🏻 When the guy is gone, she then gives interviews to local press talking about how guys can’t see how a wonderful woman she is... and then the cycle starts again with the next guy. Social media is always laughing at her and making bets about how many days her relationship will last.

J 2004 I had a classmate like that in college. She used to be that way with military men, then when she heard me say I’m an Air Force ver, she started saying she was in the navy 🙊, I called her out on it and she admitted to that story being a lie, but she kept trying to feed that crock tii oh our non-veteran classmates. Some of them, in spite of not being veterans didn’t find much sense in her stories, so they always took it with a grain of salt, but some others truly bought her tales then were disappointed about her when I told them she was making it all up
